REPORT OF RECEIVERSHIP STATUS
July 6, 2014
This report will update the Court on the current status of the receivership and the remaining issues to be addressed by the Receiver in order to wind down and terminate the receivership.
Global Information Network (GIN) Pursuant to the Courts May 27, 2014 Order approving the sale of Gin Club Assets, the transaction closed and the purchasers paid the remaining up-front balance of $180,000 to the receivership estate. The sale transaction calls for installment payments for twelve months of 8% of existing member dues and 4% of new member dues. The installment payments will begin in August 2014 for the month of July 2014 and will be completed in July 2015. Based on current projections, which are subject to change, the installment payments should create an additional $400,000 for the receivership estate.
Forensic Accounting While the forensic accounting is substantially completed, the Receiver is awaiting a handful of supplemental discovery responses in the next few weeks to provide detail regarding certain financial transactions flagged by the Receiver. Additionally, as previously reported, the Receiver made arrangements to obtain non-privileged computer files and documents that were imaged by a forensic company engaged by the law firm who represented Neil Sant. The forensic company experienced some technical problems which resulted in a delay in producing the data but did solve the problems and the Receiver was able to load the data into a searchable format. There are approximately 400,000 files contained in the data and the analysis is nearly complete. The Receiver anticipates its analysis will be completed by the end of this month and a report will be issued thereafter.
Merchant Credit Card Reserve Account To process monthly dues and upgrades of the GIN Club members, the Receiver opened a credit card processing account in August 2013. The merchant agreement between the

Receiver and the credit card processor calls for reserve amounts to be released on a rolling six-month basis. As of May 31, 2014 approximately $1.1 million was being held in the reserve account. These funds, less any chargebacks processed, are scheduled to be fully released to the Receiver by January 2015.
The Escrow Account The Receiver has traced all of the $2 million that was placed into the escrow account established by Trudeau in lieu of a performance bond. These funds emanated from the GIN Club and were deposited into Valartis Bank in Liechtenstein. By wire transfer on February 17, 2012 the funds were routed from Valartis Bank to the Website Solutions account at Bay Tree National Bank in Lake Forest, Illinois. The Receiver anticipates moving to have these funds turned over to the receivership estate in connection with the Receivers final motion to close the receivership estate.
Sale of the Remaining Personal Assets Previously, the receivership entity, KT Radio Network, Inc., leased and paid for the residence at 3108 White Oak Lane in Oak Brook, Illinois. Kevin Trudeau initially lived in the house full-time, and subsequently lived it during visits to Chicago after Trudeau moved to Switzerland. The Receiver abandoned the lease and the use of the residence, but not the personal property located within it, shortly after the order appointing the Receiver. On February 28, 2014 this court approved, with certain exclusions and exemptions, the Receivers motion to sell by public auction the personal property owned by Kevin Trudeau and the receivership entities located in the Oak Brook residence. To resolve any existing and possible future claims advanced by the owner of the Oak Brook residence, the Receiver agreed to allow the property owner to use the personal property as staging, while offering his residence for lease or for sale. With input from the qualified and approved auctioneer to allow sufficient time to properly market and prepare the personal property for sale, the agreement with the property owner provided for a sale date in November 2014.
Closing the Receivership Estate and Distribution of Cash The Receiver anticipates that after completion of the forensic accounting report in the near future, there will be very little in on-going fees and expenses associated with collecting the amounts discussed above. The Receiver is currently holding approximately $5.1 million. After collection of all of the funds, the Receiver estimates over $8 million will be available for distribution upon future
